> Every person on this planet has the power and responsibility to change and act now, we do not need to wait for government and corporations to change. Acting responsibly makes us feel better, but little else. The fact of the matter is the problem is not individuals, it's government and industry. What can any individual do to stop the burning of fossil fuels? To stop deforestation? To curb industrial agriculture? To stop the concrete and glass industries? To clean up shipping? I'm not being cynical, you're just focusing on the wrong people. Every individual on earth could begin to reduce their carbon contribution to nothing, and it wouldn't make a dent on Climate Change, It isn't us, it really isn't. We can only elect so many liberals and environmentalist conscious politicians, because the stupid is very strong in our country. To fix the problem, we need to focus on the problem, of which more than 99.9% are the list of major carbon and greenhouse gas contributors. I think we need to start with energy production, and silence the entitled energy hogs insisting on more and more energy no matter the consequences. Then work down from there, agriculture, construction, glass, shipping, etc. And that will make a difference if we could just target the top 10 greenhouse gas producers.

I'm not saying it's not needed. I'm saying if everyone took took steps, things would happen faster at the government and corporations level. As soon as people become more willing e.g. stop purchasing from corps that aren't helping I bet you they'll soon start changing there ways pretty fast. Companies will only do the bare minimum they need to and there main goal is to make lots of cash for shareholders. If everyone starts to do there bit, things will start to change much faster At the moment, most people are sitting back and waiting for someone else to make the decisions and to.
